and il does not disproYe this that the
animal has been fed a peck of oats

Overlooking before working is a COM
mon mistake both for men or horses.
II is not what was eaten in the morning

but what was eaten yesterday, and per-

big the load is disposed of BY spell

utterly weak and good for nothing

the horse begins with scours put him
in the stable at once. To continue
work with il while in this condition is
both cruel and wasteful. The horse

does do will be cost of more flesh

FOOD FOR HORSES.

The practice of letting horses run to
grass in Summer Is a wasteful one,
though many farmers are exempted to do
it because pasture is plentiful and they
thus save the expense of keeping their
teams up and feeding hay and grain
after the Spring blowing is past. II is
easy to get horse out of condition,
but it is slow and expensive work to
get him back again The horse having
steady work has not the same need that
a man has for a vacation, as he has not
the nervous strain that men have.
Least of all does the horse wanta yaca-
ton, where idleness and lack of nutri-
tious food soften his muscles and unfit
him for his work. If horse has rest
on Sunday he is better for being kept
at work six days in the week, provided
he is properly grained and groomed.
II is possible that high-strung horses
after q term on the race track may need
season of rest. They do really
seem sometimes to become almost as
excited as their drivers, only taking
their stimulant o. thc outside instead
of swallowing it in liquid iorm But
the farm horse INDUCES in no such dis
sipations. Good care and hard work

The Supreme Courts Prohibtory Decision.

TOPEKA, KS, Dec. 13.-Oregonfan dis
patch The supreme court to-day hand
ed down an opinion in which they de-
cided that any person the lawful and
bona fde possessor of intoxicating liquor
may use as he sees cit. He may drink
it himself or give it away, but he can
not by any shift or device in selling or
giving away lawfully evade the provis-
ions of the statute prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liqnor. They also hold
that person cannot be convicted under
section sixteen of the prohbitory act of
1881 for keeping in his house, store, or
in O ware room thereof, intoxicating
liquor for his own use or for giving
away, If it is done honestly and in good
faith, and not as shit to evade the
provisions of the act.
The case which elected this decision
from the supreme court Of Kansas was
that of a shoedealer who kept liquor in
his Darkroom, and allowed customers
free access thereto. Tried in the lower
court the case was decided against the
shoedealer, but on an appeal the SUI
the shoedealer can 60 on giving away
as much whisky and beer as he likes,
and no law as yet devised can prohibit
any man from obtaining and dispensing
strong drink. Should prohibitionists
persist in their efforts to compel people
to do what their moral sense does not
impel them to do voluntarily. it would
not be surprising If the result of their
revolt at and evasion of the law should
turn out to be greater in evil effects
than the curse of licensed drinking.
Why, under prohibition, if one busi-
ness firm finds it advantageous to run a
free liquor establishment, others would
not be long in following the example.
and the possible social state of affairs
can be imagined. Business firms could
not afford to run temperance estab-
lishment and lose the custom of those
who would be constantly running into
the free liquor store alongside. Ere
long some corrupt newspaper publisher
would erect free sideboard and get
thousands of subscribers to his filthy
little shetland then the demoralza-
ton Of the country would be complete.
Chromos and premiums of such trinkets
with neat little flask of the "exhlara-
ting" accompanying, would give the
newspaper such a subscription list as
might make Gordon Bennett turn
green with envy. And under such a
system of social liberality, there would

NEW YEARS DAY REFLECTIONS.

For the PRESS
The scythe of time has craven new
characters upon human hearts. and they
are sealed up only to be revealed at the
last day. Another year of our exist
ence has gone into eternity, and as We
retrospect the past, how many wrong
deeds are recorded, with but few good
ones. How many hearts that were
with us at the beginning of last year
are now trying the unalterable realities
of an unknown world
Let us ask the question "Were not our
lives spared for some wise purpose ?"
for it is hut step between us and the
tomb. The veil has but to be thrown
aside and we are in the presence of our
eternal Judge.
1t may re that during the past year
Justice has cried out: Cut them
down.! The sword was raised, but
mercy stepped between, and the sword
was sheathed; and this New Years
day finds us on the stage of action with
a blank book of three hundred and six
ty-slx pages to fill. And the thought
arises, how shall we fill those RESPONSE
BILE pages? Shall their contents go to
swell the long catalogue of msspent
deeds already recorded or to he in
bCTlUeu Ill the l.dDO DOuk oi Lie
Oh, Time thy balmy wings are bear
ing us on, and oh, how unconscious we
are of our speed
Should we not often pause and think
of the goal to which We are aspiring
the port We shall sooner or later reach :?
Shall We ever pass another December
mile post? Is this my last New Years
day? Perhaps, If shall live to see an.
other New Year, the stream of time may
have ploughed new burroughs of grief
on our heads, and all he changed.
Yes, every season separates US from
some object of our affection. All of
earth are soon to pass away. Decay is
imprinted on all the earth; we see the
folly of sublunarv things, as We cross the
isthmus OF time from the old to the new
year. The pale horse and his rider is
abroad, and has borne off some Of our
friends. Who shall it be this year?
But Is time orr greatest enemy? is
there no silver lining hung to this dark
cloud? If we drop away as the leaves,
and these clayey tabernacles shoulder
away, may they not bud again as the
spring rose, and bloom in Immortality
to fade no more?
Dear old year, with all thy changes,
We love thee still. We love thee for the
many mercies and blessings we have en-
joyed for dear friends spared TO us
for the lengthening out of orr own pro-
baton, and part from you thinking
only of the bright spots, resolving to
try TO have fewer dark ones in the fu-
ture. STELLA.
